    Summary

    A hardworking single dad raising two daughters spends his evenings unwinding to late-night radio, listening to an upbeat and fiercely independent DJ with an encyclopedic knowledge of music, with a warm, magnetic voice. Joel becomes a loyal listener, calling into her show each night to request songs that resonate with his life—melodies for his girls, echoes of his past, or tunes Maggie herself loves.

    What happens when they form a connection through their nightly calls? When their connection blossoms into something more than just what is said and played over the airwaves?

    Summary

    “In a pickle? Call J. Miller, at law.”

    J. Miller Law Office, it says in large, gold writing against a black banner above the single floor. There’s a dry cleaner on one side and an adult video store on the other, with a buzzing neon sign spelling XXX in bright red on the frosted window.

    Not once has it failed him to forge his own path. Self-made is what he is, the king on top of an empire forged brick by brick, one laid on top of the other, day after day, night after night.

    Summary

    Albert Camus said that "A man is always a prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them,” and it made me wonder how we justify romantic affairs — if we are free when we enter them in secrecy, or only truly free when we have burned the bridges we ran over to reach the arms of the other.

    Naomi is married, Joel is married, and they can't stay away from each other.

    Summary

    Holding back his punch, Joel glanced up at his brother, observing as his wide eyes raked over your unconscious figure. “What, do you know her or something?” he asked, the adrenaline causing it to come out sounding rather vile.

     

    “Fuck…” all the air escaped Tommy’s lungs, “I thought she was dead…” his glistening eyes didn’t rip away from your frame for even a second as he revealed, “yeah… yeah, I know her. She’s like family.”

    Summary

    Soft raider Joel.

    5 years post outbreak, obviously not canon.

    No use of y/n but I always name my FMC.

    He may be soft but he's not weak or boring.

    Summary

    Laura knew the dangers of her world. Between Cordyceps and the survivors, she often wondered how she'd made it twenty years. Lacking a purpose, she acted as a FEDRA plant for the Fireflies before she became the guardian of an immune kid: Ellie. But, of course, her life wasn't challenging enough already. And so, to stay with her kid she'd have to work with 'Texas'. He was a reminder of why it was dangerous to let people in—a reminder of her biggest regret.

    Joel never forgot 'Quebec', a person with whom he'd shared parts of himself he never wanted seen. It was safe to do so with her, because they'd agreed never to share their real names. It was a failed attempt at emotional detachment, which was why he'd never admit how much it hurt when she'd left four years ago. But when they have to cooperate to get Ellie across the country, he's confronted with their entwined history. Joel just wants to survive long enough to find his brother, and all he can do is prevent Laura from pulling him in again. He didn't realise he was already drowning until they made code words. 'Silver' meant 'help'...

    God help anyone that made Laura say 'silver'.

    Summary

    Molly Jones is a frightened teenage girl who is afraid to use her voice. After a nasty run-in with an overzealous FEDRA agent, Molly decided it was best to just keep quiet and let the world around her move on while she stayed still. But she was unable to. Deciding that for once in her life it was ok to be selfish, the teen decided to travel to the only QZ she knew that wasn't in total shambles, Boston.

    Ellie Williams had one purpose in life, climb the Fedra ladder as far as it would take her. That is until a new purpose found her, help create a vaccine and save humanity. Heartbroken by the events that happened to her and her dear friend, the girl found herself in a rut. Hold out her hand, count to ten, and repeat. So when Joel and Tess decide to help the Fireflies, a spark of hope flickers in the depths of her soul.

    When the two girls finally meet they are completely enamored with each other. Will they be able to save one another or will unforeseeable circumstances tear them apart forever?
